My friend Didier and I were two weeks in the US to attend two great events – the VeeamON Conference at the end of October in Las Vegas and the Microsoft MVP Summit at the beginning of November in Redmond. Between those two exiting weeks Didier and I visited the Grand Canyon. Boy is this hole in the ground impressive. So we decided to make a video in front of this beautiful nature and of course talk about technical stuff. Because the view is so great we went to three different places to get the different angles on the Canyon.
Listen to us talking about VeeamON (till 9:17) and different Windows Server 2016 features. We wish you as much fun as we had making this video.

Last week the first Microsoft Ignite 2015 Conference took place in Chicago. Didier Van Hoye (@WorkingHardinIT), Adain Finn (joe_elway) and Carsten Rachfahl (@hypervserver) where between the amazing 23.500 attendees. After the conference we sat down in front of a camera to share our impressions and thoughts about the event. Bye the way we also touch a lot of tech stuff. We talked about: virtual TPM, Storage Spaces Direct, PowerShell Direct, Hyperconverged, Nano Server and Azure Stack.
We had a lot of fun at the conference and in the video so we hope you enjoy it too.

In this Episode Didier and Carsten show a new great feature in Windows Server vNext: Storage Replication. With this feature it is possible to replicate a Volume between two Storage systems. There is a synchronous and a asynchronous Version that allows you to replicate between Volumes of two Servers, between two Clusters or in a Stretched Cluster Scenario. Didier has done already a video that demonstrate the Server to Server replication so we focus in this Showcast on the Stretched Cluster scenario.
We hope you enjoy this Showcast and learn a bit about this promising feature.

In this Episode Didier and Carsten do not show great technology instead the talk about their year 2014. They share their highlights as speaker, talk about great events, the last MVP Summit in Redmond and even share some insights (like how Carsten broke his nose).
We hope you enjoy this showcast (or should it be called talkcast)
In this show Didier and Carsten talk about features in Storage Spaces. Carsten demonstrate how to get statistics from the Autotiering process, how a Scale-out Fileserver reacts on a catastrophe (power loos) and shows what happens when he turn of an actively used JBOD in a Enclosureaware three JBOD setup.
Have fun watching this Showcast.
P.S.: Here are the links to the mentioned Autotiering.ps1 script and the explaining blog post (in German).
